About
Tomoya Nagatomi is a researcher specializing in robotic machining and control systems, with a particular focus on foamed polystyrene processing for the cast metal industry. His work addresses the challenge of achieving precise, flexible machining of soft, moldable materials using robotic systems—an area critical for producing sand molds in metal casting. Nagatomi’s key contributions include the development of a robotic trajectory following controller capable of generating micro vibrational motion along curved surfaces, enabling cleaner, more accurate cuts in foamed polystyrene. He further advanced this by integrating vibrational motion control with fuzzy logic-based feed rate control, using real-time extraction of the radius of curvature to optimize machining parameters. While his most cited papers—"Robotic trajectory following controller with a capability for generating micro vibrational motion along curved surface" (2015, 3 citations) and "Vibrational motion control for foamed polystyrene machining robot and extraction of radius of curvature for fuzzy feed rate control" (2015, 2 citations)—reflect a focused but emerging impact, they represent foundational steps toward automating the production of sand molds in foundries. Nagatomi’s work is notable for bridging robotics, vibration control, and manufacturing, offering practical solutions for industries seeking to replace manual labor with flexible, intelligent machining systems.
